The target hard drive is supposed to have no file system format (just 
the low level format from the manufacturer) -- not MS Windows, Mac OS X, 
or any other file system format.  It is supposed to be "brand new raw".

Will gparted work to remove any high level format?  It should -- the 
drive can be accessed as /dev/sdj (over the USB 3 interface to the 
external disk holding unit).
